VOR Navigation and JPI 830 Engine Monitor - Cherokee 235 Private Pilot
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
While VOR navigation is uncommon in this GPS-dominated day, it's still a great skill! Come along on today's flight and we'll look at using VORs as navaids, and also a leaning walkthrough using the JPI EDM 830 engine monitor.

NEW ENGINE! Break In Flight - Private Pilot Cessna 172
มุมมอง 2.5Kปีที่แล้ว
After a prop strike back on October, my flying club put the plane down, and the plane owners replaced the old Continental O-300 with a newly overhauled one. We're now in the break-in phase, and I'm taking the plane out for its sixth break in hour.

    Using carpet what you’re not needed just enrich the engine and increases the chance of fowling the plugs. You’re also ingesting unfiltered air. If the engine is running fine, don’t mess with it. 45 years of flying and never had an engine failure.

    @dbflyerr007 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm getting back into flying after almost a decade and procedurally I would have thought you'd have told tower you would be touch and go with closed traffic before you executed. Maybe even told him you were going to tune the ILS to check your instruments. Not criticizing, just curious. Those landings look great!

    • @MidlifePilot
      @MidlifePilot ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, he knew we may be a touch and go from being cleared for the option from 2:34-2:45. Cleared for the option means I had the option to do a stop and go on the runway, a touch and go, or a full stop. I could have decided after landing to full stop taxi back. And it’s normal at class D to not be given a traffic direction until airborne on the go. I asked at 7:09 for a direction before making my turn, which is my normal practice if they don’t give me a direction. They couldn’t care less if I have the ILS dialed in or not. Didn’t change anything about the approach I flew. Thanks for the comments - all good questions!

  • @larrytolson4135
    @larrytolson4135 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am by NO means a pro at this. I just recently acquired the Microsoft Flight Simulator and I’m taking baby steps with the training modules. Here’s a question: why did you express your speed in miles per hour? I thought air speed was measured in knots.

    • @MidlifePilot
      @MidlifePilot ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on the airplane. All three planes in our flying club (1965 172, 1973 Cherokee 235, 1973 150) are all primarily instrumented in MPH.

      @larrytolson4135 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is so cool. Thanks for sharing. I’m in my first month of class and just flew for the first time on Wednesday. It was so insanely intense. I had a death grip for the first 20 minutes and flew for a total of two hours. Instructor claims I did two take offs and one landing (of course with complete voice instruction, and zero radio work on my end) but it’s all a blur. Looking forward for my second time next week!

    Good stuff! I am a student pilot with about 40 hours and have been learning to use pitch for airspeed and power for altitude and rate of descent on my approaches. I started wondering if pilots use trim on approach and landing thinking that it might help me stabilize my approaches. So, I went looking and found your video. I’m going to try it on my next solo flight. I guess one thing to consider is that if you have to go around you have to be mindful of how much nose-up trim you have in and keep in some forward pressure. Thx for the video!

That is of course when you are p flying, on landing that might not apply. Thank you for sharing!

    OK, I've watched the bird in super slow-mo like 6 times, and I'm still not exactly sure what the right call is. So don't be too hard on yourself. To the best I can tell, the most reasonable safe move probably would be a go-around call just over the piano keys. It's not entirely clear it's necessary then, but you still have some height to execute it out of range. A BIG lesson learned for me watching this: Once it's CLEAR a go-around is needed, it's too late! I am trying to be quicker on the go-around call, and seeing this experience helps move me in that direction. Thank you!
